This film was based on a non-fiction book called "New York Confidential: The Lowdown on Its Bright Life," published in 1948. It was written (believe it or not) as a travel guide. It contained information on "reefer parties," houses of prostitution, gambling dives, gay parties and organized crime. The movie focused on the final category. The book was so popular it was followed by "Chicago Confidential," "Washington Confidential" and "U.S.A. Confidential"
"Narrator: A meeting - from every territory in the country they answered the summons. Names you seldom hear, faces you rarely see. The High Court of organised-crime sitting in judgement, judgement which is final, from which there is no appeal."
"Arnie Wendler: How'dya like me to sing? To turn states evidence? Judge Kincaid: And what do you expect in return? Arnie Wendler: To walk out clean. Absolutely clean. Judge Kincaid: You have the audacity to suggest a proposal like that to me? Arnie Wendler: That's the deal. Take it or leave it. Judge Kincaid: What makes you think I'd make a bargain like this with you Wendler? You haven't a chance. This entire city is looking for you. You'll be picked up in a matter of days, hours. Arnie Wendler: You'd like to crack the Syndicate wouldn't ya, Kincaid? You'd like to reach one of the big boys. Judge Kincaid: Go on. Arnie Wendler: Me, I'm small fry. Maybe I burn for Williamson's murder, but I don't have to testify. I don't even have to open my trap in the courtroom unless I want to, but if I do, I'll nail one of the big boys for you. Maybe 5he biggest. I can put the finger right on Charlie Lupo."
